A Tale of Two Top Tens: Japan and U.S. Make, Buy Very Different Vehicles - The Kiinote

Comparing the Automotive Best-Sellers in Japan and the U.S.
About the size of California, a state that saw new-car sales of around 1.8 million last year, Japan is a car-hungry culture, consuming more than 5.5 million new vehicles over the same period. In other words, Japan fits three times as many new cars in its Golden State-size borders as the Golden State itself. For context, total U.S. car sales came in at 16.5 million; thus, if Japan were the size of the U.S., it would translate to new-car sales of about 143 million. Whoa.
